Although Changsheng rarely talked to her in these years, she was sensitive and could see the pressure that Changsheng was carrying.
Tong Sheng seemed to have solved their survival problem, but in fact, it just gave everyone a breath of relief.
Nowadays, there is obvious turmoil around Heishan Mansion. In the name of Tong Sheng, it is not enough to protect everyone. What's more, she also sees Lu Changsheng's purpose.
Everything we are doing now is just to have a stable martial arts training environment in the future.
In my heart, I naturally wanted to do more things for him.
This was also the reason why she did not accept the position in the Five-person Association and preferred to be by Lu Changsheng's side.
"How can a gang or something be as comfortable as taking care of an immortal?" She clasped her hands behind her back and smiled.
The content of the Juren Examination is similar to that of the Tongsheng Examination. It also includes books, classics, poems, and policy theory, but the difficulty is far beyond the scope of the Tongsheng Examination.
In addition, there is one more thing, that is shooting!
This actually surprised Lu Changsheng.
Because, among the studies at Jixia Academy, there was no mention of the art of archery among the Six Arts of the Gentleman.
coincide?
Or was it intentional?
Inexplicably, he thought of the 'official corruption' incident two days ago, and felt his heart sink slightly.
"I just hope that after what they experienced, those gentlemen can restrain themselves!"
Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly.
The six-year agreement was a helpless move. If possible, he wanted to accumulate enough capital for himself three years in advance so that if any accident happened in the future, he would have more time to deal with it.
Fortunately, he is an accomplished archer, so it is not difficult to get a good score in the archery exam!
The exam lasted for three full days.
Breaks and meals must be spent in the examination room.
Lu Changsheng had already prepared in his heart. When he arrived at his seat, he sat down directly and waited for the roll officer to hand out the roll. He browsed it carefully before starting to write.
"Huh? This time's policy actually involves the issue of military disaster?"
When he saw the policy topic of the last volume, his heart moved slightly.
For the new master of Dayuan who was far away in Beijing, he seemed to have a different view than before.
In his opinion, being able to openly put the shortcomings of the current war disaster on the imperial examination as a topic argument does not require ordinary courage and determination.
This kind of courage alone is not something that ordinary emperors can achieve.
After all, there were quite a few officials in the Yuan Dynasty. People in the court claimed to be capable ministers. They put questions in the imperial examination and asked the candidates from all over the world. Doesn't this mean that the people in the court are incompetent?
"At this moment, I am afraid that there is also an undercurrent surging above the court. However, with this emperor in the Yuan Dynasty, I am afraid that it will also prolong the reign of the country."
Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but think that the sudden change in the situation in each government was probably related to the struggle between the DPRK and China.
"What I seek is martial arts to strengthen my body, but I can't get too involved in this official struggle."
He secretly thought that this reference would definitely be his last.
According to the laws of the Great Yuan Dynasty, one can obtain an official position through promotion, but it is usually a ninth-rank official position. If it is operated properly, one can obtain an eighth-rank official position. After that, one has to go through seniority and cultivate one's luck in officialdom. When the time comes, one can still climb up.
Unfortunately, it is impossible for Lu Changsheng to take this path.
A ninth-grade official status is enough for him to have enough resources to practice martial arts. Any more would be a burden.
"Write poetry first."
He sat up straight and started writing seriously.
In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the third day, and candidates began to submit papers in advance one after another.
In two days and two nights, as long as you work a little harder, you can finish it. If you can't finish it, there's really nothing you can do about it.
It's better to hand in the papers in advance, go out and rest, and prepare for the next archery test.
At noon, Lu Changsheng also got up and handed in his papers, and then went to the rest area prepared for the examination room to rest.
Just after squinting his eyes, he heard Du Meng sigh.
"Chang Sheng, how did you do in the exam?"
"It's okay, how about you?"
"I didn't do well in the book and classics exams. I should have failed this time."
Du Meng grabbed a handful of hair, looking annoyed.
"And for this shooting skill, we have no preparation at all. How are we going to take the test!"
Lu Changsheng comforted him: "Relax, aren't others the same?"
"It's hard to say that Gao Teng, Mo Zihua and others are not worried about this at all!" Du Meng's face was full of envy.
Gao Teng and Mo Zihua are nobles who can directly go to the martial arts academy to practice, and they have no shortage of martial arts masters and professors. Their martial arts skills are definitely not comparable to those of them who entered Jixia Academy through their childhood fame.
Lu Changsheng was also a little envious in his heart, but he knew that this was inevitable in any world, so he could see it in his heart.
"When Brother Du wins the exam, your descendants will also be called nobles!" Lu Changsheng joked.
"Hey, how can it be so easy? However, I hope Brother Lu can be right!"
Du Meng smiled bitterly.
There was a lot of pressure on him. A group of people in his family regarded him as the one most likely to win the election and had high expectations. Lu Changsheng withdrew from the agreement with the big family members of the Lin family, so the pressure basically came to him.
If he fails to succeed, he will have to pay the price.
"By the way, didn't you say last time that the Lin family would find a way to let you enter the martial arts academy to practice?" Lu Changsheng suddenly remembered this.
"That's what I said at the time, but there has been no news. It must be that the price it will cost is too high, and they are not willing!"
Lu Changsheng nodded.
The entrance threshold to the Military Academy is quite high. With the big families in the Lin family, it would probably cost a lot to get in. But in this case, it would be better to get one's own family in.
At this moment, several figures walked in, and they were clearly Gao Teng, Mo Zihua and other nobles.
Among them, there was no figure of Xun Zimo.
Xun Zimo just passed the Tongsheng examination this year, but he was unable to participate in this examination.
A group of children who were resting quickly got up and went over to greet them.
Lu Changsheng squinted his eyes and pretended not to see it.
Over the years, he has been severely ostracized in the academy, so there is no need to insist on licking him.
Du Meng, who regarded Lu Changsheng as his friend, naturally did not get up. He just looked at the Gao Teng people with eyes full of envy.
"The advantages of nobles are too great. They all have to be given the title of disciple!"
Disciples, that is, students who are valued by professors and masters, are considered to have inherited the teacher's kindness. In officialdom, if someone asks, they can mention the teacher's name.
But they, ordinary students, cannot do this. If they do, it would be a transgression.
Lu Changsheng smiled and said, "Perhaps, in two years' time, those professors will be proud of you!"
Du Meng showed a smile, "Brother Lu, you often have hidden secrets in your words, which makes people never tire of it!"
After that, he added: "The Lantern Festival will be held in Huiying Building in two days. Do you want to go over there and have a look?"
"What's so good about the lantern festival?" Lu Changsheng shook his head slightly.
The Lantern Festival held by Huiying House is still several days away from the real Lantern Festival. This is to win over those children who participate in the examination. If someone wins the exam, the reputation of Huiying House will be greatly improved. Blessing.
Among them, the most famous one is the Xunzi High School of the Xun Family, which greatly increased the reputation of Huiying Building and rushed from the low-end to the high-end.
The lantern festival held a few days in advance has also been passed down.
"Brother Lu, you can still go to this lantern festival. I don't think you have a good match. After you go, you might be able to find a young lady from a rich family. At that time, you don't have to worry about studying in Jixia Academy. It’s over!”
Du Meng said.
Lu Changsheng rolled his eyes at him angrily and said, "Brother Du said this as if I can't win the lottery this year!"
"Haha, my, my, Brother Lu's talent is unparalleled. This time, Brother Lu must be the one to be promoted!" Du Meng was just joking, but Lu Changsheng said seriously: "Brother Du has a sharp eye!"
Du Meng's expression froze and he shook his head helplessly.
I was just joking, why should you take it so seriously?
"Brother Lu, who is usually so low-key and kind, how come at a critical moment, he loses his good qualities and becomes as sharp as a knife!"
